I need to decide which Ultima I should replay. I finished UW2 in
about a week of playing all day; something I can finish that quickly
is ideal since I have another week at home coming up. Here are my
possibilities so far:
Ultima 3: Never finished it due to the silliness of game mechanics
saving whenever you enter town, die, etc. Also, PC version has no
music and I don't feel like emulating. There was a Windows version,
but I'm unsure of its status.
Ultima 5: Never finished it or even got very far. I dislike not
having multiple save slots, and the combat really drove me up the
wall. But maybe I'd enjoy it more now. Especially if the music patch
thingies work.
Ultima 6: Haven't played it through since 1995 or so. It's fun, not
overly hard, and not buried in combat. Seems like it's the leader
right now. Does it still function in XP?
Ultima 7: I kinda overplayed it back in the day; I remember where
everything is too well. Maybe when I have forgotten more it would be
fun.
Serpent Isle: Same deal as Ultima 7, but worse, because I have played
it through several times. Plus there's an awful lot of potential plot
breaking bugs :-/
Ultima 8: It's not very fun, but in retorspect it could have been a
lot worse. I might try it again. I remember it being fairly tedious
though.
Ultima 9: I lost the CD 6 years ago and I still haven't replaced it
That says how much value I place on the game, I guess. I'd enjoy
playing it with the modified dialogue, though.
My last attempt to play Martian Dreams was a failure because a bug
broke the game towards the VERY VERY end and I was quite upset :-( I
am loathe to try it again. Savage Empire I played years ago, and it
was fun but not that fun...especially the very end. The earlier games
are frankly too easy; I can probably finish Ultima 1 and Ultima 2 in a
several hours, LOL, and Ultima 4 is no fun anymore since I kinda
remember where everything is, and thus all that's left is to kill
monsters incessantly
I'm not even gonna contemplate ROV or Mr. Drash.
Argh, the decision is tough to make!
